last week when i was in PA, I
- skateboarded with tim in my driveway
- stayed up all night listening to hardcore records, watching donny darko, playing pool, and watching the us get beat by poland
- talked about tech, life, and whatnot into the wee hours of the morning with patrick
- wrote an xmms plugin to append the currently playing MP3 song title to my e-mail signature
- watched wonder boys, dancer in the dark, and a bunch of neo genesis evangeleon episodes
- got called gevin by tim after he snorted lines of sugar
- wrote nice car batman on piece of paper and stuck it to the windshield of some boy racer’s car in the parking lot of the middlesex diner
- made a box monster costume to make fun of peter’s short lived stint working at carlisle cardboard container. unfortunately i had to leave before i got a chance to wear it
- listened to some of tim’s ever-expanding record collection
- enjoyed the fruits of my mom going into maximum baking mode: vegan cherry pie, chocolate cake, and chocolate chip cookies
- played soccer with tim, mario, peter, patrick, josh, chris, and brian and ate boca burgers cooked over a fire afterwards
- got rid of ms windows on my workstation
- watched a really bad harrisburg senators baseball game with my parents. snickered as my dad told the confused parking attendent that he had a bruised patella
- beat peter at scrabble because he gave up to get some sleep before an early shift at the box factory
- read the minority report short story and optic nerve, love and rockets, and lone wolf and cub comics.
